Is it possible to have a workflow continue on error, or does it just stop on hitting an error? If it just stops I may need to schedule several smaller jobs, instead of having the one big job die.

Patrick Williamson It is possible. I'm on version 5.1 but after I connect one piece of a workflow to another with a Link ( https://astera.zendesk.com/entries/21512282-Creating-Workflows , look for links) right-click on the link to 'Change Link Type' to 'Run always' and regardless of error or success of the first subflow the second subflow will execute.
I do this when I daisy chain database backup commands. I want to do one at a time, but if one fails it sends me an error message ( a 'Run on error' link ) and at the same time continues to the next backup in the process.

Mike O'Quinn The answer above is correct. Just to add some more info here:
Any error that happens after a green link will crash the entire flow if it is not "handled." Handling an error in a workflow involves linking either the orange error link or the navy blue "run always" link.
